- Hot off the press, the Plant of the Year for 2015 is a wonderful addition to any high plains garden.
- Thinking about adding chickens to your household? This one day class on backyard chicken keeping may help you decide. And for inspiration, here's my review of the Wheat Ridge chicken tour.
- Before we know it we'll be spending a lot of time gardening (can't wait!). Here are three simple exercises to help keep injuries and pain at bay.
- Pruning trees and shrubs can be tackled in February, as well as a few other gardening activities.
Have a great week!

Happy New Year 2013!
I always look forward to the New Year with anticipation. It's time to renew and refresh, set goals and create action plans.
Here at The Art Garden I've changed things a bit with a new design template. The look is still fairly clean and easy to read, but I've added a backdrop photo. I'll change this out as the seasons progress (or on a whim, you never know). Please let me know if you like it, or if it's a distraction from the "main event". I've also added "share" buttons at the end of each post which I hope you'll enjoy using.
***********
One of my gardening goals for 2013 is to add more plants to my home's interior spaces. The amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.) pictured here was a mere bulb in a pot when it was gifted to me at Thanksgiving (thanks, Mary!). I kept it on my desk and watched it grow very quickly — like time-lapse film in real time!
What a joy to watch the big buds unfurl and have these monster blooms keep me company as I worked. Now I'm looking forward to finding more plants that will tolerate low light, cool temps, and a small space. Any ideas?
What are your garden goals for 2013? Now's the time to dream, study, and plan ... and I'm here to help!
Again, best wishes to you for a fantastic 2013, and thanks for visiting The Art Garden.

2012 Solstice Countdown . . . 1!

| Big Horn Medicine Wheel, Wyoming USA |
Those of us who are avid gardeners and living in the Northern Hemisphere can't wait for the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Then the days will begin to lengthen and we can look forward to the gardening season once again. Whoo-hoo! This year the solstice occurs on December 21st, and to celebrate I'm posting a photo-a-day countdown with some of my favorite photographs of 2012. Enjoy!
